Hi, NG,

ich habe in der letzten Woche einen Lenovo-Rechner mit Win XP gekauft, der
zwei wesentliche Nachteile hat:
1. Die einzige brauchbare Partition ist C: und lässt sich nicht teilen.
2. Es ist keine Win XP CD dabei, sondern nur eine Recovery Partition.
Von einem anderen Rechner habe ich noch eine XP-CD, mit der ich den Rechner
gerne völlig neu installieren möchte. Ich weiß aber nicht, wie es mit der
Lizenz wird, die ich ja mit dem Rechner gekauft habe. Wer weiß etwas
darüber?
Vielen Dank,
Roland

Translating from German Roland says

I have bought a Lenovo calculator with Win XP, last week
two essential disadvantages has:
1. The only useful partition is a C: and cannot be divided.
2. There is present no Win XP CD, but only one Recovery partition.
From another calculator I have one more XP CD, with which I the
calculator
with pleasure absolutely anew would like to install. However, I do not
know, how it with that
License becomes which I have bought with the calculator. Who knows
something
about that?
Many thanks,

I think the on line translator has wrongly said "calculator" when it
should be "computer".

How large is each partition? What is the Lenovo model?

Wie groß ist jede Teilung? Ist der welche Lenovo Modell?

Hope this helps.

My college German is very old and rusty, but I *think* I understand
your question. Please forgive my English answer, which I hope you can
read. I know my German isn't good enough to answer in German.

I think you are saying that you bought a new XP computer that came
with a recovery partition instead of a CD. You would like to reinstall
Windows XP and want to know if you can use the CD that came with
another computer you own.

If so, here's the answer: if the CD is of the same type (Home vs.
Professional, Retail vs. OEM, and Full vs. Upgrade) yes, you can. If
it differs in any of those ways, the Product Key of the new computer
won't work with the CD.

By the way, for the future, note that this newsgroup is an
English-speaking one. You would be more likely to get the help you
need if you would ask your questions in a German group.

If you bought a Lenovo computer your first action should be to generate the
recovery CDs. Read your manual.

You're welcome, and I'm glad you were able to understand my answer.
Your English is much better than my German.
